At one time a farmer, another a journalist and another still the Secretary of Agriculture, Henry Wallace has held many offices, but at his core he is most principally a progressive. In fact, Henry Wallace is the most left-wing president in American history. As the 1948 presidential race approaches, Henry Wallace stands at the shores of time.
Since becoming president after the death of Franklin D. Roosevelt, Henry Wallace has grown only more and more unpopular as days turn to months and months to years. Though the United Nations triumphed over Nazism in Germany, the failed invasion of Japan still haunts the nation. Anti-soviet thought swirls in the American psyche, and many consider Wallace a red—or sympathetic to the reds himself.
The waves are approaching President Wallace. The moment of resolution is impending. Will he overcome all odds, or be washed away by the tides of history?

This is truly the comeback for the ages.
When you’d won the nomination, many couldn’t decide if you were genius or crazy, but there’s no doubt now. You’ve managed to do to Johnson what Kennedy did to you 8 years ago.
The next 4 years are yours to define. You can finalize the peace agreement for Vietnam, set the course on Civil Rights, and redefine the party for years to come. If all goes well, you and Eisenhower may become the first President-Vice President duo to serve 2 full terms each.
Just make sure you don’t let your ambitions get the better of you, and you’ll be fine.
Good Luck President Nixon! You have the silent majority on your side!

This was going to be a hard year for any candidate, from any party. A popular incumbent, with 2 full terms under his belt, it could have gone either way.
Unfortunately, things just didn’t pan out in your favor. Maybe Wallace sapped too much of your support, or maybe Kennedy’s popularity just gave Johnson too much of an edge.
Your political career has well and truly ended. It’s unlikely the Republicans will William Jennings Bryan you and even less likely that you would succeed even if they did.
What's certain is that no one can fault you for not wanting it more. You would have done anything for the Presidency, maybe even things no President should do.
Sadly, it seems this is the end of the line for you, haunted by the name Kennedy and what could have been.
\", \"no_electoral_majority_message\": \"Oh No… The Election has been Deadlocked!
Many are shocked by this outcome. Wallace’s candidacy was sure to complicate things, but to actually force the election to the House? It seemed impossible.
You’re in a bit of a predicament. Technically, Democrats have majorities in more states, but with many of those being from the South it’s unclear how Wallace will factor in.
You can try to make a deal, though that may mean some significant concessions on Civil Rights and who knows what else. However, the alternative, letting Johnson win, would surely mean the end of your career.
If you’re lucky, you may be able to work something out with Johnson himself, but given how badly you both want this, those efforts could be fruitless.
Whatever you do, do so thoughtfully. Your party is counting on you!

Convinced that a Wallace victory is impossible, most southern leaders are suggesting Russell instead try to block a Stassen victory and force concessions on the issue of civil rights. Others, namely James Eastland urge Russell to push even farther and win votes nationwide. If not for any serious goal, making inroads in the rust belt or west would send a message that the Democratic Party can no longer neglect the wishes of Dixie.

The Republicans are despondent that they could have lost, not just for the third time in a row, but to a third party candidate. The Democratic party is imploding on itself.
Your victory has undoubtedly shaken the country to its core, and now you get to redefine its course, at home and abroad. Starting with overturning the Civil Rights Act.

It was always going to be an uphill battle. Third parties have never traditionally done well, especially Dixiecrats. Still, you’ve fallen short and it appears that Civil Rights will progress despite your best efforts.
If Nixon won, you might have a shot at slowing the Civil Rights train - though it seems unlikely he would turn his back on the issue completely.
If Johnson won, it’s almost certain that more Civil Rights legislation is on the horizon, and you along with fellow Southern Democrats will need to fight hard to keep your influence on the party.
For now, though, it’s unclear what’s next. Perhaps you could run again for Governor, or maybe even throw your hat in the Congressional ring.
Whatever it be, keep fighting for Dixie!

Across the nation Americans are stunned at what you’ve accomplished tonight. Not since 1824 has an election been decided by Congress.
Both your opponents are beside themselves that they’ve let this happen, and you can bet both will be calling you to negotiate a way out of this mess. Right now, you hold more power in the election than any voter, delegate, or candidate.
You could side with Nixon, who might be a bit more malleable in terms of Civil Rights, or you could side with Johnson, and cut a deal to leverage more influence on the party.
Just be wary that they don’t decide to work with each other and cut you out entirely. Not only would it undercut your agenda, but it would render your victory tonight near meaningless.
Whatever it be, the fate of the election rests in your hands. Good Luck!

Rayburn and Wallace have a testy relationship. The former blames the ladder for Democrats’ devastating defeat in the 1946 House elections, which saw Democrats lose a catastrophic 89 seats. Rayburn will expect Wallace to moderate some of his more radical positions and make significant concessions to the party establishment.

In the Senate, Byrd was an outspoken opponent of the New Deal, a position which puts Byrd and Russell in stark contrast. If your goal is to block the election of Stassen, Byrd would be a good choice as a member of the conservative coalition in Congress to leverage your electoral votes and come to a satisfactory agreement with Stassen.

The Republican nominee, Harold Stassen, a veteran of World War Two, won the primary by excoriating Wallace for his alleged ‘bolshevik sympathies.’ He is the favorite to win, and his lead has only been exacerbated by the candidacy of Richard Russell in the south, running as a States Rights Democrat.
America stands at the precipice of an election of historic significance. After the death of Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1945 his Vice President, Henry Wallace, took up the burden of the presidency during the tumult of the end of the Second World War. After the costly failed invasion of Japan, Wallace’s already-shaky approval ratings plummeted. In April 1946, the red flag flew over Tokyo. Today, the reds stand on the precipice of domination of East Asia, America’s imperial allies are unraveling at the seams, and Earth is shaken by an unspoken ideological war.
